How to add Components on Device?

Hi,

I've been developing an application on Desktop, and then compile it to a Device .exe file. Running it on the device, it doesn't works. Says it has some missing components.

So, I install basic4ppc V6.01 on my device (HTC P3600), and tried to load the source, the same one that works on Desktop. But the error keeps launching.

I copy and paste the working desktop code to a new one source in the Device, but when I try to add components (serial.dll and bitwise.dll) to create the required objects, I don't see any .dll's to add. (?)

I installed .Net CF 1.0 SP3, and .Net CF 2.0 SP2, and now the About option in the Device says I have .Net version 2.0.7045.

I wrote a Hello World application, and try to add components. All I got is some Dll's like the following:

"GAC_CustomMarshalers_V2_0_0_0_cneutral_1
GAC_Microsoft.VisualBasci_v8_0_0_0_cneutral_1
...."
and so on, but none of the Serial.dll, hardware.dll, etc, libraries I find in the Desktop.

What am I doing wrong? How do I do to be able to write and test applications from my device, or at least, put on work the ones I develop in the Desktop?

Thanks in advance,

Jesus.

The libraries are not installed on the device. You need to copy those libraries you need to some directory on the device. You can then add them as components and they will be copied to your application directory.

Solved.

Hi Agraham,

I forgot that the Explorer, and also the basic4ppc in the device only sees one level of the directory tree. My fault. :sign0137:

So, just have move all, the source and the libraries to a directory created in the root, and it's working, running it from device, and running the compiled version.

But... what do I have installed, this GAC_... things?

Thank you for your answer, Agraham.

GAC is the "Global Assembly Cache" where all the .NET Common Language Runtime components are installed and from the two titles you give they are definitely part of .NET. I am a bit surprised they appear in "Add Components", they are hidden on my device. Just ignore them.
